„Liverpool“ team acquired their current star Mohamed Salah last summer. The „Reds“ paid 42 million euros for the Egyptian.
However, „Roma“ president James Pallotta revealed that „Liverpool“ owner John Henry regretted having to overpay for the footballer.
„I would say he regretted it. „Did we overpay? I think we did“. So I just told him I would buy him lunch“, - J. Pallotta recalled.
„When you look at it now, you can say it was an incredible deal. But the problem was that when Monchi arrived („Roma“ sporting director), Salah wanted to leave. He only had a year left on his contract, so if we had waited, we would have gotten nothing.
He wanted to return to the „Premier“ league and prove himself again, which he has done. No one else called about acquiring Salah for a similar price, so I can say that many teams missed a great opportunity to acquire a wonderful player this year“, - J. Pallotta added.
